I am curious how you structure the wording regarding tenants not co-operating with showing.

I started with a duplex, bought a couple more and am starting to buy singles, but they haven't been vastly different in terms of how complex they are to operate. 

You can also check the operating expense ratio (OPEX/effective gross income) in comparison to the comps to see whats going on.Good Luck!

sorry Derek for the late replyI'm need a 1 2 3 step in lining  up my wholesale operation and a guide to follow.

(a hard money loan would only add to the stress on a Newbie).Therefore....I/ most investors  would have to shop in Housing markets with homes under 200k...In my case...living in the northeast....I am restricted to the southeast (NC, FLA, Tenn, Georgia)/ maybe...Midwest.)I would have to  long Distance Invest....Then I would have to get a team/"Core 4" in the market.

Regardless of whether you own one property or 1000, whether you house hack or are a out of state investor always operate your investment as a business.

I work for a local FD and when we do inspections we ensure each pull station is operable,able to be reset and the alarm bell activates.

Have you run the numbers to see what YOUR expenses in operating the property will be? 

Should my operating account be in the same bank as the security deposit?
